Hello Bulldog Families,
I hope this message finds you well! Thank you for your continued partnership in making our Blakely community strong. I'd like to share with everyone that we hosted an island wide Kindergarten Information Night at Blakely last Thursday evening and the excitement of welcoming a new group of students and families into BISD was energizing! Thank you for being part of Blakely and the Bainbridge Island School District. Below are two quick updates I'd like to share, thank you for reading.
Attendance:
We want our students here learning and doing hard things every day! However, when students are seriously sick, it's important they rest and recover at home. As a reminder, students should stay home if they have experienced any of the following within the last 24 hours:
If your child has minor or mild symptoms like the ones below, they are are fine to attend school:
- Cough
- Runny nose
- Headache
- Other minor discomforts
We want to ensure that everyone is healthy while continuing to support our students doing hard things, taking risks and building resilience. Your partnership in making these decisions helps our entire community stay well while ensuring students don't miss valuable learning opportunities.
Volunteer Checks:
We absolutely love and appreciate our parent volunteers who make Blakely such a special place! Before volunteering in any capacity—whether in classrooms, at school wide events, or on field trips—all families must complete and be approved through the school district's volunteer process.
Please check with the office ahead of time to confirm your volunteer status is current and approved. This helps us maintain a safe environment for all students while welcoming your valuable contributions to our school community.
Thank you for your continued support of Blakely Elementary!
Sam Cameron, Principal
